Dealer called before the status changed. I can pick up the truck as early as tonight... if I can find a way to get there.

Congrats! I’m curious how up to date the information the dealers can see is. I’ve chatted ford daily and called the dealer today and they say the last update shows it’s still in MI. I’m wondering how often it truly updates the trucks location. Mine was marked as shipped 2 days after yours so fingers crossed it arrives soon.

The sales manager at your dealership should be able to run a VinView or Vehicle Visibility and get you the rail shipping carrier name and railcar number. Once you have those two pieces of data in hand, you can track the rail car yourself. I found that helped ease the crushing anxiety experienced this late in the process (Far away, So Close!).

Nice! Unfortunately mine is still in the yard according to the updates I got so I won’t be able to get that rail car data yet.

You're about to drop many thousands of dollars on the car, see if the salesman will come pick you up.

Yo @WhipSticks & 1023 Gents. Looks like I am trying to get that Lariat you sent over. I have some drama getting my funds back from the other dealership, they don't seem pleased. The new truck is still 10/23 so I'm still in the gang is this pulls through.

 

[WhipSticks]

I hope you get what you want!

Got an update today that my truck is loaded on a railcar. Norfolk Southern TTGX985815 with an eta of the 7th-13th.

Hang in there! Here's some inspiration...

Very encouraging some vehicles are in the hands of owners.
My estimates delivery date has been updated 12-2 to 12-15

I see advertised prices falling. I can’t complain about the deal I signed, but if for some unforeseen reason there’s another delay, it’s reassuring to know that there are several others sitting in inventory readily available.

Picked it up yesterday from the one whipsticks forwarded, u the man. The other one is still MIA. But I’m still 10/23 gang.
Ride is smooth like butter. Also, big thanks to TaxManhog for all the guidance.

i got the same deal, 2k off + the 7.5 and the msrp was slightly over because now I have max tow pkg, but delivery isn’t counter to msrp so that’s another 7.5 in April.

She’s a beauty! Love her.

Did anyone get a frunk storage net with their truck?

Yes, mine was in the back of the cabin under the drivers seat in a shrink wrap package on delivery
